What I want is easy updates of software packages and kernel without
going through hassle installation/upgrade.

Centos is lovely but it is SuSE-like, a "CD"-based rather than source
(Gentoo) and binary (Debian) -based. Both Gentoo and Debian allow to
download specific software packages to update.

Another lovely distro is Ubuntu. Like Centos, it is very nice to run as
"ordinary" home or business environment but not for development,
especially, serious Ada applications development.

I can't seem to decide between Debian and Gentoo....
